Following the meeting Bijan Zangeneh said that oil ties between Iran and the African country will enhance once the sanctions are lifted.
"Both Iran and South Africa are keen to upgrade their relations in the energy sector," said Zangeneh after his meeting with Tina Joemat-Pettersson, the Minister of Energy of South Africa.
South African was a traditional customer of Iran's crude oil before 2012 sanctions. The country imported 60,000 barrels/day of Iranian crude oil until a month prior to the imposition of sanctions on Iran's oil sector.
